PLANT UPTME STARTS WITH COMPLIANT EQUIPMENT

THE CHALLENGE
WHAT WE HEAR MOST OFTEN
ACCURACY KEEPS PRODUCTION MOVING.
PRESSURE EQUIPMENT OBLIGATIONS
Boilers, pressure vessels, piping, heat exchangers, refrigeration — inspected to PECPR Regs 1999, with reports accepted by your insurer and standing up to WorkSafe scrutiny.
CALIBRATION OF MAINTEANCE INSTRUMENTS
Process calibrators, pressure gauges, torque wrenches, electrical testers — where traceable accuracy is the difference between a passed shutdown and a failed one.
STRUCTUAL ASSESSMENTS ON AGEING PLANT
Silos, tanks, conveyors, racking, and platforms where age, corrosion, or modification has changed the original design assumptions and producer statements are now needed.
HOW DEG HELPS

Structural and mechanical design and assessment for silos, tanks, bulk storage, plant layouts, conveyor systems, pipe racks, racking, platforms, and access systems. Producer statements. API 510, 570 and 653 tank inspections. Finite element analysis. Incident investigation and expert witness.
WHY DEG
WHAT SETS US APART.
SINGLE ACCREDITED PROVIDER
IANZ accreditation across both inspection (ISO/IEC 17020) and calibration (ISO/IEC 17025) — pressure equipment certification, NDT, and calibration records from one provider with one audit trail.
LEVEL 3 NDT ACROSS ALL DISCIPLINES
Our NDT team includes Level 3 certified personnel across VT, UT, PT, MT, RT, PAUT, and ET — we scope, qualify procedures, and audit them ourselves without a third party.
WORKS TO THE CODES YOUR INSURERS EXPECT
OAS/NZS standards, ASME, API, and ISO codes — the same standards your insurer, your regulator, and your overseas head office expect to see referenced on the report.
ONSITE WELDER QUALIFICATION
Welder and procedure qualification onsite or in the workshop, with WPS, PQRs, and welder records issued as a complete certification package.
CASE STUDY

ALLIANCE GROUP ━ SMITHFIELD, TIMARU
PRESSURE EQUIPMENT & PLANT INSPECTION PROGRAMME
Alliance Group operates one of New Zealand's largest meat processing co-operatives. DEG Survey & Inspection has supported the Smithfield site with pressure equipment and plant inspections, including ongoing accredited NDT and equipment certification work. Plants of this scale rely on inspection schedules that hit the window without disrupting throughput — that is the test we are built for.
